Workspace does not open with the line print ("Hello,World") and when I type python hello.py in console nothing comes up

When I open the workspace the script is blank and If I type in the line when I go into console and type in "python hello.py" it responds with blank space instead of Hello World

I'll be great if you tag your code, it'll be easy to identify the problem

you can go ahead and type the script in yourself, it's: print("Hello, World!")

the print command is case sensitive so keep the word print lower case, save the file before you try running it again.

The code: print("Hello, World")

Save this file with the extension .py. It should look something like this: hello.py Then, in the console type: python hello.py

I think this should do the job for you.
